MediaXpress Introduces Support for Unix and Linux Operating Systems


(Phoenix---July 25, 2000)---WAVO Corporation (Nasdaq: WAVO) today announced 
that the company's MediaXpress Website content delivery service will now 
support both Unix and Linux-based operating systems.  MediaXpress will be 
available to support Solaris based Unix platforms in August.  A Linux version 
is currently being beta tested, with a commercial release expected in 
October. Included with both versions is a JAVA software development kit, 
allowing for the easy integration of MediaXpress into the customer's current 
Website.  
"We're pleased that WAVO has expanded MediaXpress to support Unix, enabling 
us to use their superior XML capabilities to add real-time, relevant news and 
information on our Website," said John Lehman, president of Sageware and a 
participant in the Unix field trial.  "We've had a lot of success with 
MediaXpress and are impressed with the content, the ease of integration and 
exceptional customer support we have received."  
"Linux is the fastest-growing operating system in the world, growing at a 
rate of 215% from 1998 to 1999.  Adding Unix and Linux platforms completes 
the operating system support requirements for our MediaXpress Website content 
solution, making it possible to meet the expanding needs of this dynamic 
marketplace," said Scott Roulet, General Manager of MediaXpress.  "We can now 
support over 90% of the global Web server market."
MediaXpress is the industry's leading provider of pre-licensed, pre-packaged, 
real-time content, offering brand-name media sources to Web servers 
worldwide.  Up-to-the-minute news, sports scores, weather and more are easily 
incorporated into Web Portals, Internet sites, corporate Intranets and 
Extranets with minimal development.  Harnessing the power of XML, the new 
language of the Internet, MediaXpress "tags" key story elements (industries, 
people, locations, etc.) to provide only the content that is relevant or 
desired by the customer.  For more information visit www.MediaXpress.com.
